1. ASSESSING THE PLAYER
A comprehensive assessment of the player will be conducted, from technical abilities to physical capabilities. The player's strengths and weaknesses will be identified, and the sessions will be planned and executed accordingly.
2. FOCUSING ON TECHNIQUE
Technique is the most important requirement for mastering any sport. This is why it is absolutely necessary to break down the technique of the skills we learn into their simplest elements before focusing on speed. During this training step, the player learns to visually distinguish proper technique from improper, because the trainer will not always to present to correct right from wrong. Also during this time, good habits are established and bad habits are eliminated through detailed focus and instruction.
3. BUILDING CONFIDENCE
Confidence has a placebo effect in sports. Believing you are good at something actually makes you better at it, and when you're better at it, you tend to like it more. Keeping these two in mind, it is important as a trainer to recognize and acknowledge the player's positive steps in order to boost their confidence and inspire them further on their journey to success.
4. VENTURING OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE
A 100 m sprinter does not prepare for a race by going to the track and jogging 100 meters; the sprinter prepares by sprinting. But if the sprinter has an incorrect running form, all that sprinting will be pointless and show no results. Similarly, a soccer player must first learn the proper technique for any movement. Once they have, the next step to improve on their skills is to increase the training speed and push themselves outside their comfort zone, where they will only be successful some of the time and where mistakes will be made and tolerated. Gradually and naturally, their own bar will be lifted higher and higher, and less mistakes will be made at high speed.
5. INCREASING TRAINING INTENSITY AND COMPLEXITY
As the player becomes capable of training with the ball at a higher speed, training sessions become more intense and the player begins reaping more of the cardiovascular benefits from the workouts. Training sessions also become more complex, helping expand the player's range of available tools for different match situations and helping the player become more versatile and closer to complete.
6. UNDERSTANDING MATCH-TIME APPLICATIONS
Now that the player is equipped with the necessary tools for success on the soccer field, they will begin to discover match-time applications for everything they have learned through personal advice and self-exploration. The player will spend less time focusing on controlling the ball and more time on scoping the field, consciously making informed decisions, and expressing themself on the field. Over time, some of their decisions will become second nature.
My trainees range from 5 years olds to Division 1 college athletes and professionals.

Coach Garen has helped my son tremendously and we’ve been very pleased with his coaching for our 9 yr old. He is a great balance of firm but encouraging, and my son responds well to his style of coaching. Garen helped my son pinpoint areas for improvement and is constantly pushing him to be better. We would highly recommend him!
Coach Garen has a very detailed teaching program for soccer that is superb. He is also a great motivational coach and instructor. My 5 year old son, after one lesson with Coach Garen, said he only wanted to take lessons from him going forward. My 8 year old son made remarkable improvements in his game after one session, and came home wanting to watch soccer all the time. Coach is very motivated and serious about training, and the kids pick up on that and enjoy it. He does not yell or scream - he uses his calm and sincere manner to get his point across effectively. Can’t say enough good things about him.
